There are two different areas on the DigitalChalk learning management system where you can create a notification, under the Administration tab and under an individual course offering.

How to Create a Notification (under the Administration tab)

You will begin by selecting the “Administration” tab.

Next you will want to select “Notifications” from the left side menu.

Now select the “Add” button and you are ready to begin creating a notification for your organization!

How to Create a Notification (for an individual course offering)

Select the “Manage Courses” tab.

Now select “Offerings” from the left side menu – after you do this you will want to select the gray gear icon to open up the “Advanced Settings” for the offering.

Click on “Notifications” from the left side menu and then the “Add” button and you will be able to begin creating notifications for that specific course offering.

With so many options to choose from, you can create a notification for any event or even send a simple “hello!” to your students. We’ve also given you full control over when each notification is sent out to students, so you can set the notification to be sent on a certain date, or send it immediately after creating it.
